LONDON -- As we enter into the final stages of the Great British Bake Off, it's time to reflect on one of the show's most widely discussed aspects this year: Nadiya Hussein's gloriously impressive range of facial expressions.
Nadiya's expressions have received so much attention during this year's series of Britain's favourite baking show that they're now not only the subject of discussion in blogs and on social media -- they're also works of art.
If you're not familiar with Nadiya, here's a short GIF introduction.
Since the start of Bake Off Nadiya's expressions have been something of a talking point.
NADIYA’S FACE IS THE GREATEST THING ABOUT #GBBO THIS YEAR FOR SURE.— Beccy (@bexrayandvav) September 23, 2015
In one episode, Nadiya's face expresses the complete range and scope of human emotion. #GBBO— David Ephgrave (@David_Ephgrave) September 23, 2015
As the series has progressed, Nadiya has also acquired a tribute Tumblr called The Many Faces of Nadiya Appreciation Blog and received national press attention for her impressive face-pulling skills.
Now people have started creating fan art in tribute to her facial expressions.
Here's one from artist Kats Planet that comes with the tagline, "Nadiya's face is a gift."
This next one was retweeted by Nadiya herself.
@BegumNadiya Hey Nadiya! I drew you and your wonderful facial expressions. Hope you like it (and hope you win ☺️) pic.twitter.com/dPxZTcaQZi— Anjum (@an_j_ime) September 23, 2015
Nadiya even sent some feedback to the artist of this last one.
Nadiya is one of my favourite #GBBO bakers. Just had to draw her expressive face. With apologies to @BegumNadiya. pic.twitter.com/u6XzXZxy9r— Ally Craig (@mr_craig) September 16, 2015
